Default IS350 OE wheels on the '99 GS400

Here are some pictures of the new IS rims on the GS. Staggered size, 8's up front and 8.5's in the rear, 245 / 255 tires.

They don't look bad, just don't look great.... I don't think they look any better than any of the OEM GS wheels... SC or 05/06 would have been a better route, just my .02

I think they look good. Proportionally pleasing even on the larger GS car.

Very similar to the old L-tuned wheel made by OZ.

I like it a lot. Its great for someone looking for that OEM look.

May I ask how much you picked these up for, cuz it seems that the new IS wheels, especially the spiders, are getting top dollar these days.

Thanks everyone, I came across a nice deal and had to try it. I think the white car and silver wheel may tame/lame it down, they may look better on another color GS; I wish the IS's had the hyper silver finish like the GS430 18's, that really wakes a wheel up. I went with Bfg's KDW2's, with a very unique tread pattern, they ride great and have a nice response.

Here is what the car looked like just before the IS350 rims...the Moda's are getting refinished by a shop right now so we'll see what I end up doing on the wheels...
What I liked best on the Moda's was the fitment, that front 8 and rear 9 just looked perfect and I like the 275's out back, sweet on a four door!
